President Donald Trump signed a proclamation that bans individuals from 12 countries from entering the US, reinstating one of the most controversial measures from his first term after an attack in Colorado that targeted an event supporting Israeli hostages.

The travel ban announced Wednesday covers Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. The measure also partially limits entry of people from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela.
